Chase Sapphire Reserve® Exclusive Tables in Philadelphia: Where to Use the $300 Dining Credit

Philadelphia has enough dining depth that the Chase Sapphire Reserve® list can be useful, especially if it overlaps with Center City or neighborhoods already in your plans.

Last checked: July 8, 2026. Restaurant participation can change.

Quick Take

For Philadelphia, Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables currently has a broad list compared with many markets of 15 participating restaurants. The list has changed, with 5 restaurants appearing to be new and 5 earlier restaurants not showing now. The credit is useful only if the restaurants fit how you already plan to dine.

How the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables Credit Works

Eligible Chase Sapphire Reserve® and J.P. Morgan Reserve cardmembers can receive up to $300 per calendar year in statement credits at Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables restaurants through OpenTable.

The credit is split into two windows:

• Up to $150 from January 1 through June 30
• Up to $150 from July 1 through December 31

To use the credit, dine at a participating Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables restaurant and pay with an eligible card. The credit does not apply to every OpenTable restaurant, unused credits do not roll over between the two six-month periods, and participating restaurants can change.

Eligible cardmembers can also link an eligible card on OpenTable for access to special or primetime reservation inventory. Terms apply.

Philadelphia Restaurants Currently on the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables List

Friday Saturday Sunday

Friday Saturday Sunday is the Center City splurge pick: Chad and Hanna Williams run a polished New American tasting-menu restaurant above a cocktail bar. Use a $150 half-year credit to offset a special-occasion dinner, and note that monthly reservations can be competitive.

a.kitchen

a.kitchen sits near Rittenhouse at 18th and Walnut with French-American cooking from chef Eli Collins and a serious natural-wine program. The credit is practical for a dinner or wine-led lunch where the bill can land near the $150 half-year cap without forcing a tasting menu.

Pine Street Grill

Pine Street Grill is a Fitler Square/Center City American neighborhood spot rather than a destination tasting room. It works as a lower-friction credit use for classics, happy hour, or a steakhouse-leaning dinner when you want to avoid turning the benefit into a huge check.

My Loup

My Loup brings French and French-Canadian cooking to Center City with a seasonal, supplier-driven menu and a “Let Us Cook For You” option. Put the credit toward a richer date-night dinner here when you want ambitious food but not the full formality of Vetri or an omakase counter.

Mawn

Mawn is the high-demand Cambodian BYOB near the Italian Market/Bella Vista, with only a small dining room and lunch walk-ins. Because alcohol is BYOB, the $150 half-year credit can go further on food; book early if dinner is the goal.

Her Place Supper Club

Her Place Supper Club is a tiny Center City dinner-party format with changing menus and two seatings of about 26 guests. It is a strong credit target for readers who enjoy communal, chef-driven meals and are willing to plan around scarce reservations.

Vetri Cucina - Philadelphia

Vetri Cucina is Marc Vetri’s Center City townhouse fine-dining room, currently tasting-menu only on OpenTable’s page. The $150 half-year credit will offset only part of a premium Italian dinner, so treat it as a discount on a milestone meal rather than a free night out.

Tabachoy

Tabachoy is a South Philly Filipino restaurant serving home-style dishes rooted in cultural memory, now in the OpenTable Sapphire Reserve list. It is one of the more useful credit plays when you want a flavorful, shareable dinner without automatically committing to fine-dining pricing.

Almanac

Almanac in Old City is more cocktail bar and Japanese-influenced speakeasy than standard dinner reservation, with house rules worth checking before booking. Use the credit for a drinks-and-small-bites night when that is the plan, not as a substitute for a full restaurant meal.

Ogawa Sushi & Kappo Omakase

Ogawa Sushi & Kappo Omakase in Old City is a 23-course Edomae-style Japanese counter with fish flown from Toyosu Market. The $150 half-year credit will cover only a slice of the check, but it can take the edge off a planned omakase celebration.

Sao

Sao is a South Philly oyster bar with Southeast Asian flavors from James Beard Award-winning chef Phila Lorn and Rachel Lorn. It is useful for the credit when you want seafood, raw bar, and sharper flavors in a setting less rigid than a tasting menu.

Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle on North Broad is an Afrocentric American tasting-menu restaurant highlighted by the Michelin Guide, with sourcing tied to local Black farmers and Indigenous ingredients. The credit is best treated as a subsidy for an intentional tasting-menu booking.

Provenance

Provenance in Society Hill serves a seafood-focused French menu with Korean influence and a non-tipping model with a 20% service charge. It is a strong credit use for diners who want a structured, chef-driven meal and are comfortable with tasting-menu economics.

Emmett

Emmett is a Center City Mediterranean and Levantine restaurant emphasizing local sourcing and a designed space with Philadelphia artists. The credit fits a shareable dinner of dips, vegetables, seafood, and grilled dishes where $150 can meaningfully reduce the out-of-pocket bill.

Pietramala

Pietramala in Northern Liberties is a vegan, plant-based restaurant built around wood-fire cooking and organic Mid-Atlantic produce. It is one of the better credit options for mixed groups with plant-forward diners, since the benefit goes toward a full dinner rather than just drinks.

Notable Picks

Best steakhouse option

Pine Street Grill. Pick from this group if you wanted steak anyway; otherwise, the dining credit may not change the math enough.

Best Italian or pizza option

Vetri Cucina - Philadelphia. If you want the credit to go toward dinner instead of a full production, start with these Italian or pizza options.

Best Japanese or sushi option

Ogawa Sushi & Kappo Omakase. Check the current menu format before assuming the $150 credit covers much of the bill.

Best practical shortlist

Friday Saturday Sunday, a.kitchen, My Loup, Mawn. For most readers, this is the first bucket to check before turning the credit into an expensive special-occasion meal.

Final Thoughts

Philadelphia looks like a strong market for using the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables credit, but only if the eligible restaurants overlap with places you would actually visit.

I would value the credit based on realistic use in Philadelphia, not the $300 annual amount. A restaurant you would not normally book is not the same as cash.

Before booking, check the current OpenTable Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables page for Philadelphia and make sure the restaurant is still participating.
